Document Summary
Lecture 3 global health priorities chapter 2 part 3. The most fundamental human right is the right to life. Human survival is dependent on having enough food, water, and air to support physiological processes and having sufficient shelter and clothing to protect the body from external exposures. Because drinking water is something that everyone requires on a daily basis just to survive, access to water is considered to be a human right. Udhr article 25: everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing, and medical care and necessary social services. Access to health care is a function of availability, accessibility, affordability, acceptability, and quality. The right to health does not mean the right for everyone to have access to every health resource on demand.
